| 释义 | > as lemmasfocal surface focal surface n. (a) Geometry a surface formed by the centres of curvature of a surface; = evolute n. 1a; (b) Optics an imaginary curved (usually spherical) surface on which initially parallel rays come to a focus after passing through a given lens or other optical system, and on which (in the case of visible light) the images of distant objects would be formed.In the latter sense, a focal surface with no curvature is a focal plane.
